Can i you use caustic potash flake as a neutralize on a large amount of spilled car battery acid?

[Edit]

To neutralize a strong acid you need a weak alkali. You've done enough damage, so I would stay away from anything that says caustic on it or you're going to end up blind or gassed. Try a box of Bicarbonate of Soda first. Or just slam it with buckets of water and dilute it.
